Here's an article from wired magazine. If Bush thinks he can counter the trade problem with this, he is mistaken imho. He is putting the blame on the workers again, vs. the trade negotiation Bush economic team who are short sheeting the US with an undervalued Yuan among other problems. Lou Dobbs and other media have pointed this out repeatedly and with the internet voters can see whats going on in India. Bush is toast on these trade matters. Bush to Go on the Offensive on Jobs, Trade Bush will forcefully advocate what the White House called his "pro-growth and free and fair trade agenda" in a speech to women business leaders in Cleveland. He will say Democrats like the party's presumptive nominee, Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, would respond in "old ways" to the economic challenges facing the country. "Their agenda is to increase federal taxes, build a wall around our economy and isolate America from the rest of the world. That old policy of tax and spend is the enemy of job creation. The old policy of economic isolationism is a recipe for economic disaster," Bush will say. "America has moved beyond that tired defeatist mind-set and we're not going back," he will say, according to speech excerpts given out by a senior White House official. The speech comes less than a week after the Labor Department reported that the U.S. economy mustered only 21,000 new jobs in February, far below the number anticipated and erasing any lingering hopes that the economy would produce the 2.5 million jobs this year that a White House report had forecast. In a Feb. 25 speech in Toledo, Ohio, Kerry blamed Bush's policies for the flow of American jobs overseas and proposed that U.S. companies be required to warn workers and the government before sending work abroad. Bush is trying to recover lost ground to Kerry. Many polls show him trailing the Democrat, and of particular concern to the White House was a new Washington Post-ABC News poll that said 57 percent of Americans want to elect a president who "can set the nation in a new direction." Bush will acknowledge the U.S. economy has challenges but will promote his own policies of retraining unemployed workers for higher paying jobs. "We will make sure that American workers have the education and skills to succeed in the jobs of the future. And we will remain the leading economy in the world because America will remain the best placed to do business in the world," he will say. wireservice.wired.com
